13-Jan-08: Sunday evening terror round-up

Eight mortar shells were fired into Israel by Gaza-based Palestinian Arab terrorists this afternoon. Two landed in the grounds of Kibbutz Netiv Ha'asara, one damaging a residence. Six others crashed into open ground near the Erez Crossing that connects Gaza with Israel. Two Qassam rockets were also fired into Israel today; one landed in an undisclosed open-field location while the second crashed into Hamas-controlled Gaza territory; no injuries, no damage. Elsewhere today, Israeli Border Guard forces neutralized a Palestinian Arab woman carrying a hidden 12-inch (30cm) kitchen knife as she tried to enter Hebron's Machpelah Cave, one of the Jewish world's four holiest sites. A day literally does not go by without terrorist attacks like these by Palestinian-Arab thugs. Making matters steadily and measurably worse, Gaza has ready access to a growing supply of lethal weaponry via a vast and proliferating network of tunnels dug literally under the noses of the Egyptians; the Christian Science Monitor describes the charade in a feature article ("Gaza tunnel smugglers stay busy") to appear in tomorrow's edition.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
